INAUGURATION. A Splendid Barbecue. OUR WATER A Large Turn Out. Speaking Ball, Etc. Yesterday (the 17th) was the clay it part for i a inauguration of tlio Sedalia Water-works.

There was a very respectable crowd present, but few ncic from outside of Pettis county, and fewtr Fhll from outiide cf Swlalia The test of the works in the ioic- noon, was not intended ns a thorough one, as the toft had hoen niiide some days hut enough at done (with what had been done befoic) to itfy the most skeptical that 0111 will ying succcsa.

Goodwin, The very best of feelings prevailed, and all felt that Sedalians had just cause to congratulate theinselres upon the completion of this giant enterprise. Three cheers were given to the band for the music furnished for the occasion, after which the crowd diipereed and we came home ieeling that the afternoon had lcen most pleasantly enjoyed by nil who participated in the for a festival it wns. So far as the AVnter-worki arevon- cemed, feel entirely willing to trust them. The machinery as neat and complete any we erer uaw, and we think it in perfectly adapted to the objects for which it was made. In the evening the city WM illuminated, and the Empire Fire Company closed the with ft ball at Smith's Hall, which we learn was a very enjoyable affair indeed.
